Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], September 4 (ANI): Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KeSCPCR) has filed a complaint against Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil for stalking and criminal intimidation.
It has now become one of the new complainant along with nine separate complaints submitted by politicians and social activists, the Kerala Crime Branch confirmed on Wednesday.
An FIR has been lodged and submitted in court under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Sections 78(2), pertaining to stalking, and Section 351, which deals with criminal intimidation. Additionally, a case has been filed under Section 120(o) of the Kerala Police Act.
The FIR says that the victims are in the age group of 18-60, and the accused used social media to stalk them, send messages and chats threatening forced abortions.
The Crime Branch had registered a case on the instructions of the State Police Chief after examining the complaints received by the State Police Chief in this regard, and it was found that they were cognizable offences.
Palakkad MLA, Rahul Mamkootathil, is currently facing allegations of obscene conduct filed by writer Honey Bhaskaran and model Rini Ann George. Consequently, he has resigned from his position as the State President of the Youth Congress. The Congress party has also suspended the Palakkad MLA from the party's primary membership. However, he will continue to serve as a legislator.
Addressing reporters at the District Congress Office in Kozhikode on Tuesday, Satheesan challenged mediapersons to question Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan about "sex offenders in the Chief Minister's Office." He alleged that several CPI(M) leaders continue to hold positions despite multiple complaints about their misconduct.
